A brief excerpt from UK Squash's Derek Johnstone [back home]


Many people don't realize the numerous benefits of a sound strength training program.
It is essential to the competitive squash athlete that a regular regeme of strength training is undertaken.

The benefits are:

  • increases in muscle strength and tone;
  • increased tendon, bone, and ligament strength
  • increased physical performance and appearance
  • improved metabolic efficiency; and
  • decreased risk of injury.


    • In practical terms, an increase in strength will result in greater power and accuracy of your shots and faster movement on court.
